Transit 2 Jacket

Product Review (submitted on May 16, 2010):

I already had some Goretex leather pants from another manufacturer. I did not like their jacket so went with the Aerostitch Transit jacket. On receiving the jacket it was immediately obvious that the Aerostitch product was made better. Initially the jacket was stiff and I thought the front was too long. However after wearing it for a couple of days it fits like a glove. Totally waterproof in all day rain with the bonus of not holding water like a textile jacket. So walking into a cafe' from the rain is not so embarrassing and it drys much quicker. It is warmer on very cold days than my existing textile jacket from a very reputable manufacturer. My heated vest also works more effectively as the leather jacket keeps the vest closer to my body. I just wish I had purchased it earlier.
I have a couple of small negatives. The wrist zips gradually undo themselves an inch as I ride and I wish I had purchased the jacket a long time ago. I love it.
